Which valves separate ventricles and arteries?
A
The semi-lunar valves
B
The atrioventricular valves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aortic and pulmonary valves are semilunar valves which separate the ventricles from the aorta and pulmonary artery, respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary valve: This separates the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. 3. Mitral valve: This separates the left atrium and left ventricle. 4.

Detailed explanation-3: -The semilunar valves (pulmonary valve and aortic valve) are one-way valves that separate the ventricles from major arteries. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta, while the pulmonary valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves. All the valves are trileaflet, with the exception of the mitral valve, which has 2 leaflets.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your aortic valve is one of two semilunar valves. Semilunar valves connect your heart ventricles (lower chambers) and arteries. Semilunar valves get their name from the crescent moon shape of the flaps that make up the valve.
